For Bryan Bennett, designing hostage negotiation programs is the perfect jobβas long as he doesnβt deal directly with kidnappers or their victims. Intense nightmares of his own abduction and imprisonment as a small boy still plague him thirty-some years later, and claustrophobia prevents him from attempting to travel.
So when Bryanβs boss asks him to fly to Reykjavik to teach his corporate-level kidnapping and extortion seminar, he initially refuses. But a CEO has specifically requested Bryanβor no one else. Finally Bryan relentsβ¦
For decades heβs treaded gingerly around his deepest terrors. Now, on this trip, Bryanβs taken hostage again and must face his fears full-on. Will he realize that in this battle of will and nerve, he is his own greatest enemy? Or has this fight already been lost years ago?
